application and the supporting affidavit. I have also read the affidavit in
opposition. I have listened to both counsel for and against the motion.
Consideration has been given to the principles governing the grant or otherwise
of applications of this nature. It is my view that the affidavit in opposition
filed by the defendant/respondent does not disclose any defence. In the
circumstance the application should be granted. Same is granted. Summary
judgment is accordingly entered for the plaintiff/applicant in the sum of USD269,020.50
with interest calculated at 19.65% from 5<sup>th </sup>January, 2016 to date of
final payment. I award costs of GH¢30,000.00 in favour of plaintiff. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p>
